I found the recent thread about NGC1999 quite interesting, because this is an example of an object normally considered to be rather featureless and boring where higher magnification can reveal some interesting detail.
Until recently I also considered M43 to be a quite uninteresting patch of nebulosity, but observing it from La Palma I found that it contains quite a lot of interesting structure.
Do anybody out there know about other examples of such nebulae? I admit that I mostly use low magnification on diffuse nebulae, and there are quite a few patches (perticularly in the winter sky) which I never have paid much attention to.
